Poee & Co is a contemporary Goan restaurant in Panaji, North Goa, presenting regional cuisine through refined preparations, seasonal ingredients, and locally rooted flavours. Located within Goa’s culinary hub, it brings together traditional breads, seafood, curries, small plates, plant-based dishes, and considered beverages while respecting the diverse culinary traditions of Goa.
Traditional Goan preparations are thoughtfully refined for contemporary dining while retaining the spices, ingredients, textures, and regional character that define the cuisine.
The namesake poee is prepared fresh and served warm, giving traditional Goan bread a central role alongside curries, stews, spreads, and other dishes.
Goan curries and fresh seafood preparations highlight familiar regional flavours, with attention to marinades, spice, heat, acidity, and balanced cooking.
Smaller plates provide an opportunity to explore preparations such as kismur and other locally influenced dishes suited to sharing and varied dining.
Vegetarian and plant-based dishes use ingredients including coconut, pumpkin, yam, and jackfruit, extending the restaurant’s regional approach beyond seafood and meat.
Cocktails incorporate flavours such as kokum, cashew, palm nectar, and spice, alongside wines, craft beers, and house-fermented sodas selected to complement the food.
The menu draws from Goa’s Hindu, Catholic, Saraswat, Portuguese-influenced, and everyday culinary traditions rather than focusing on a single expression of regional cuisine.
Local sourcing and seasonal cooking place freshness and regional relevance at the centre of the kitchen’s approach to ingredients and preparation.
Indoor spaces, shaded verandahs, thoughtful table spacing, and attentive service create an environment designed for relaxed and unhurried meals.
Our Mission is to celebrate Goa’s culinary heritage in Panaji by giving traditional flavours, ingredients, breads, and regional preparations a thoughtful contemporary expression. Poee & Co aims to respect the diversity of Goan cuisine through seasonal cooking, locally rooted ingredients, considered hospitality, and balanced presentation while creating an accessible dining experience that keeps the character of local food at its centre.
